This term had enormous popularity during the 19th and 20th century because of the much narrower definition of "whiteness". During the beginning years of the Republic, a white person could more correctly be defined as a white land holder, usually of Anglo-Saxon heritage and always protestant. Over the years this ethnic and social identifier was referred to as WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). It was not always factual in practice but, the identifier was true in stereotype. Because of this narrow definition of what it was to be white, the large majority of the country was in some sense considered non-white.

WASP is short for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
